The key thing is to keep standing up and to pick relevant issues. For me Madiba being strickly honest with his supporters would be a good start. If you and I get up and proclaim atheism its no big deal, but Madiba would rock them to the core.

<p>Danladi - You are falling into the web set by the theists. Mandela is not a saint. He is a man, a great man, but man nevertheless. A man with human failings. I see nothing in the works of Mandela that identify him as a theist. I am saying that Mandela is outright one of us, no "corner of his heart" stuff.

I see nothing in the works of Mandela that identify him as a theist. I am saying that Mandela is outright one of us, no "corner of his heart" stuff. He has simply followed the line any politician would have followed. Atheism makes you very unpopular in Africa. Admitting to Atheism would severly have curbed his popularity. It still would. His politics has always been more important than his religion. He now has a chance to correct that, and make a very strong statement to the world. <strong>You can lead a good life without God.</strong></p>

<p>It takes a godless, brave individual to achieve what Madiba has achieved. He suffered and endured for the sake of freedom for others. An atheist thinks about the brotherhood of mankind here on earth, while a religious bigot thinks of himself with selective few in fantancy abode in heaven, while others are being roasted.</p>

<p>If you ask me, I can say cathegorically with all certainty that Mandela is in a one corner of his heart an atheist. I could remember in a documentary film on his life, where he spoke about his vist to Nigeria during his flight from South Africa. He descibed Nigerians as being very religious. Only a non-religious person could give such a sarcastic remarks</p>
